Im going to finish it hear and say thats nothing we managed to get a set of golf clubs, some shopping and a trolly with 2 people in it!! if im honest it was slightly uncomfortable for me who had to hold the clubs lol buts yes its made for traveling light......put it this way you buy a bang and olufsen mobile because you love the design, feel, quality regardless of weather its practical or not.....at least with my experiences lol i have a serenata and its possibly the least practical phone for texting and e-mails which i do have to do from time to time but i love it and couldn't care less same with the R8 I guess........sacrifice the practicality for a whole load of fun and some great looks!

Last car related post on this thread. Here's a pic of me trying to load the 'shopping' and cases up when we went away in it. It's really designed for people that 'travel light'

My neighbour has a V10 R8 and it's the most amazing sounding exhaust I have ever heard :)

I have some 'product placement' at my local Audi dealer (located about 400 yards away from LifeStyle HQ). I mentioned to the DP it was my wifes Birthday (this August) and was given (or should i say had forced upon me!) a brand spanking new R8 V10 in Sepang Blue for the weekend..

I managed to pull a muscle in my neck fighting the 'G's, did 155mph on our local (empty) dual carriageway, and needed anger management therapy during my short spell as its custodian! This car is off the scale bonkers...

All you want to do is hammer the throttle and listen to that noise it makes.. It HOWLS !! It also makes you want to overtake everything in your path, bully other high performance cars, and drive at the fastest speed possible at every opportunity.

A total and utter 'licence-loser' and to be very honest i was glad to give it back. Here's a pic of it (taken with a camera phone - hence the low quality) on my driveway whilst i was 'calming down' inside the house

Haha yes they are great fun, we did something silly like that in it too, my cousin used to have a TVR Tuscan and that is one hard car to drive, 100mph in second and on a private road ofc we managed 165, had the chance to drive a Ferrari last year and boy was that fun!! 180mph and a whole load of noise! :P will post a couple of pictures when im on the other macbook! absolutely great fun, im a big car enthusiast so as you can imagine i could talk about cars all night so im going to refrain and look and more bang and olufsen and leave that for the motoring forums! lol

VERY nice :)

My other neighbour has a Ferrari 430 and that sounds poo in comparison to the R8. I would honestly rather take the Audi for a spin than the Ferrari, even if it is still a very very distant cousin of my V5 Beetle.

Haha no i wish it was! cousin now has a DB9 lol Depends if i drive or if my cousin does (hes a big b&o fan but is on holiday at the moment but im sure will be on soon to say if he can make it or not) and if he can he will drive but will bring his range rover if anybody wanted a lift as nobody can fit in the back of a db9 unless you are 3ft tall!! tried at christmas to get my other cousin in the back and shes 8 and with the seat right forward she only just managed! worth it though as it has the Bang & Olufsen Sound System :P
